Review: Desk Genie

The very name ‘Desk Genie’ (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/desk-genie-non-slip-charging-desk-stand-p22432.htm) inspires a lot of wonder as well as scepticism.

Dynamic Views on Blogger

Well here is one for all you Chemistry teachers and students out there… listen to this, memorise this, and go conquer the world of elements!!!!

Get rid of all that change!

This one applies mostly to British people, but it may work in other countries as well. If you are like me, you most probably hate carrying the 5kg of change in copper we end up accumulating in our wallets/purses.
